Run work that outlives a session (hours of training, a server, a remote queue) with tmux/nohup/setsid and a background watcher that reports when it ends. Use before launching anything that must keep running after this session exits, or to track a job you did not start here.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Long-running jobs
`execute(background=True)` belongs to this session: it is stopped when the
session exits. A job that must outlive the session goes in `tmux` / `nohup` /
`setsid`, and from then on nothing reports its end: `/ps` does not list it and
no exit reaches you.
So launch it to leave a completion marker and, in the same step, start one
background watcher that turns the marker into a completion. Do not wait to be
asked. Polling is right here because there is no event to wait on; the watcher
only reads, and exits non-zero if the job vanished without a marker:
```
execute(command="tmux new-session -d -s train 'python train.py > train.log 2>&1; echo $? > train.exit'")
execute(command="while [ ! -f train.exit ]; do tmux has-session -t train 2>/dev/null || [ -f train.exit ] || { echo 'train gone, no exit file'; tail -20 train.log; exit 2; }; sleep 60; done; tail -20 train.log; exit $(cat train.exit)", background=True)
```
The same watcher fits any job you did not start here (a job queue, a remote
run): loop on whatever condition marks it done.
Tell the user the watcher dies with this session while the job keeps running.

How to install
mdr add shibing624/agentica/long-running-jobs@sha256:295cd62d629f997aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
